the government would have lost in court

I'm not sure that is correct. Assuming the survivors of the victims could bring suit against the government for negligence in allowing the hijacking, would they have necessarily won? Can I successfully sue local government if a convicted arsonist escapes from jail and burns my home? The state government if a psycho driver on State Route 1 runs me down? The federal government for crimes against me or my property by an illegal alien?

I didn't say they should win, but it's like the Tobacco suits, when you have thousands of people who have been damaged they would win purely on sympathy

The important part was to keep the aviation disaster lawyers like Greta van Sustern from getting richer off of the disaster
